Commissioners keeping better eye on road gravel
(Local News ~ 11/25/08)
Red Willow County commissioners decided Monday morning they need to better monitor the size of gravel being delivered to some of the county's graveled roads. Although the three admitted they don't have time to watch gravel deliveries "24/7," they do plan to take some roads away from one company and give it to another, in hopes of getting road gravel that meets specs, and not sand that blows away in the wind...

In 1619, he returned to his village after a misadventure on another ship and being sold into slavery in Spain. His entire village had died from disease brought to them by white men...

A Green(land) Thanksgiving
(Column ~ 11/25/08)
